Water → Morpholine, 4-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-fluoro-2-methoxy-1-nitrobenzene (24.4 g, 0.14 mol) in 200 mL DMF was added morpholine (25.7 mL, 0.28 mol), followed by the addition of K2CO3 (23.6 g, 0.17 mol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. The mixture was poured into 0.7 L H2O and the precipitate was collected by filtration. The precipitate was further rinsed with 0.5 L H2O. The resulting solid was air dried by purging with a flow of air for 24 h, thus affording 29.3 g of 4-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)morpholine (0.12 mol, 86%).
